First Appearance

Spiro Teluman is first introduced when Laia comes to his forge to deliver a note from the Commandant.

Background

Teluman smith is one of the oldest in the Empire. Gens Teluman has produced the most talented Empire smiths for centuries.

Before Darin came, Spiro Teluman had not made a true Teluman scim for seven years. The day he made his last weapon for the Empire was the day he swore to himself to never make a Martial blade again. He did not want the Scholars to die because of his weapon.

Physical Description

Laia describes him having the look of a river pirate rather than a blacksmith. He has a shaved head and his face is full of piercings - six through each ear, one in his nose, his eyebrows, his lips. From his wrists up his arms and into a black leather jerkin, there are multicolored tattoos of eight-pointed stars, lush-leafed vines, a hammer and anvil, a bird, a woman's eyes and scales. He has the look of a Martial - tall and muscled but lanky. His eyes are pale green.

Biography

The Empire forced apprentices on Spiro Teluman for years. He did not find one until he caught Darin spying on him from a balcony of the building next door. He was going to report him to the auxes but then he saw Darin's sketchbook. He learned that not only Darin was drawing the inside of his forge, he was also designing the weapons of his dreams. Teluman offered him the apprentice right away because if he did not, he would expect Darin to run away and never come back but Darin came into his forge fearlessly. Spiro Teluman taught him how to make fine Teluman weapons for his people, the Scholars. Darin wrote and drew what he had learned in the sketchbook. Spiro Teluman told him to keep his sketchbook at the forge but he would not listen. He also taught Darin how to survive interrogation and prison in case he got caught.

The Mask who caught Darin recognized Teluman's work in his sketchbook. He has been questioned twice about it. The Empire cannot know about the apprentice, otherwise both of them will be killed. Teluman is the only chance the Scholars have for their freedom.

When the Commandant sends Laia to his forge, he is not interested in giving a response, like always. He returns to the back room of his forge without a care. Later, when he hears Laia screaming, he returns with a scim he created with Darin and wards the ghuls off. He is interested in Laia so he changes his mind and asks her to tell the Commandant that he will reconsider her request. He also needs the Commandant to know that he only wants Laia to deliver him the upcoming specs.

During the second visit, he welcomes her with a chair and a glass of cold water. Then, he locks the door. He asks her who did she see with when the ghuls came. When Laia says it was her brother, he scrutinizes her face and recognizes her easily because Darin spoke of her often. He tells her about how he met her brother and how things went between them. And the connection with the Resistance is the reason either of them is still alive. As long as the Empire thinks he is holding rebel secrets, they will keep him in prison. Laia, however, does seem comfortable knowing about it so she shoves the papers to him and leaves quickly. He does not come after her.

Afya Ara-Nur comes to his forge presumably asking him to craft something. He sees Laia at the door and nods a greeting at her. Teluman and the tribal girl agree on something. She offers him a sack of coins.

When she is gone, he tells Laia about her. Her tribe carries weapons for the Marinn branch of the Scholar's Resistance. Most of the weapons are made by Darin. Laia resents him for telling her of that. She blames him for making Darin his apprentice. At this, Teluman tells her that Darin will still be making weapons if the Empire ever releases him. Darin's destiny is to help his people and he will help him do it. Also, Teluman pretends to make a weapon for the Commandant so that she will keep sending Laia with messages. As long as the Commandant thinks his interest in Laia will get her a Teluman blade, she will not do any harm to her. That is the least he can do for her brother.

Laia tells him her brother is going to be executed. He gives her a hint that her brother has been moved to somewhere but she is already leaving before he can ask her where did she learn that information from.

Trivia

Spiro Teluman's grandfather was a friend of Quin Veturius.
